So.... I tend to be one of those people who are really practical and think things through and save money and am really careful about things....
But I'm also the kind of person that gets an idea in their head and it never leaves....
And I'm also one of those people who finds something enjoyable and just keeps going with it until it is thoroughly exhausted.
And I have found mine: piercings.
This past week, I have gotten two: right nostril and left tragus.
It started out with me wanting to get my nose done for about 2 years now. So I did that Sunday (ironically my mom's birthday, haha).
Then I decided I LOVED it and went with three guys today to get various holes made (and filled) in our bodies.
Tah dah! An addiction is born!
I'm hoping to get my ears legit pierced at some point (or maybe just do them myself? I dunno yet) then get a rook and snug piercing and eventually a bunch of cartilage. I'll be doing my ears instead of my face, so it doesn't look too trashy.
I want to get a rook and snug done eventually. Don't know which ears yet, but oh well. I've got plenty of time.
I'd really like to get an eyebrow done, but I'll wait and see if I get my study abroad or have to go back to work. Same with the ears. I can only have 1 earring in each ear at the theatre. And no facial piercings. So I have to be sure I get them done early enough so I can put in a retainer by the time I go back.
There is an awesome place here called Evolved, and they do 2-for-1 Piercing Thursdays, so I think that's what I'll end up doing next time.
The people are fantastic (I have had my work done by Rev and Jared)! And very, very helpful.
But yes, total addiction. Which is why I went twice this week instead of on Thursday. And which also indicates that I have a new addiction.
A snow day spent well!! ^_^
Now I need to start saving up for my study abroad...
That means no more piercings for Emily T_T
I hate needles, but I love piercings... You do the math!

The Hollow Men
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

Happiness
There is very little happiness that is attained by a person who is NOT living with Aarthi.
At this moment in time, I am listen to Aarthi watch Night of the Living Dead for a horror movie class and shouting at how stupid people are and how zombies are the least threatening of horror movie creatures.
Now, if it were a vampire or a werewolf, it would be a different story... Unless it were a Twilight vampire. Then it would just be the vampire stalking someone because their blood smells like "strawberries and unicorns and sugar and spice and all the nice things in the world!" and deciding they want to marry a mortal. Then they would say, "Oh my god! Marry me and have my devil spawn child!" Yes, that is Aarthi's interpretation of life.
And each woman in these movies cannot talk. "I need your explicit permission, sir." "She's so dumb! She's so dumb! I hope she dies... because she's so dumb!!"
I love Aarthi!!!
And you know you're jealous!

Hamburg Song
I don't want to be adored
Don't want to be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved
No, I don't want to be the only one you know
I want to be the place you call home
I lay myself down to make it so
But you don't want to know
I give much more than I'd ever ask for
Will you see me in the end?
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend?
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little lightShine a light on my life
And warm me up again
Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple
I lay myself down to make it so
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for
Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way
To lay yourself down and make it so?
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for
Don't want to be first in line
Or make myself heard
I'd like to bring a little light
To shine a light on your life
To make you feel loved
No, I don't want to be the only one you know
I want to be the place you call home
I lay myself down to make it so
But you don't want to know
I give much more than I'd ever ask for
Will you see me in the end?
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend?
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little lightShine a light on my life
And warm me up again
Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple
I lay myself down to make it so
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for
Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way
To lay yourself down and make it so?
But you don't want to know
You take much more than I'd ever ask for

Loose Ends
Doing everything by halves
Got a real flare with excuses
Meeting someone at the bar
Where loose ends still have uses
It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what d’you say we give it up and walk away
We're overrated anyway
We're kissing without kissing
Got it down to a fine art
Love's supposed to keep you young and frisky
But we grew up and wide apart
Not now, not ever, no, it's never a good time
How will the good times ever roll on
Comparing photos that are now not there
Just wondering (wondering)
Where it all went wrong
It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what d’you say we give it up and walk away
Nothing to salvage anyway
Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh
None of the above
Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh
None of the above
Want to, oh, Need to, oh, Try to, oh

Passing Afternoon
There are times that walk from you
Like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window
Of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn
But the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir
Her Bougainvillea blooms
There are things that drift away
Like our endless numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the
Perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe
In the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their
Piles of fallen leaves
There are sailing ships that pass
All our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children 'til she
Lets them go at last
And she's chosen where to be
Though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of
Bougainvillea seeds
There are things we can't recall
Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in
Her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers
Rolling round the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like
Songs I'd never learned
There are names across the sea
Only now I do believe
Sometimes with the windows closed she'll
Sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes
And they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones so
Scared to be alone
Like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window
Of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn
But the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir
Her Bougainvillea blooms
There are things that drift away
Like our endless numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the
Perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe
In the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their
Piles of fallen leaves
There are sailing ships that pass
All our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children 'til she
Lets them go at last
And she's chosen where to be
Though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of
Bougainvillea seeds
There are things we can't recall
Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in
Her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers
Rolling round the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like
Songs I'd never learned
There are names across the sea
Only now I do believe
Sometimes with the windows closed she'll
Sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes
And they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones so
Scared to be alone
